We ordered a stock of 100 from Home Depot today. If you talk to the guys at home depot, a lot of times they can call and place an order with their warehouse. The price should be 51 cents per cap. We cleared out our local stores, then finally had to order them, they take ~3days to come in.

We have a mix of domed and flat ones, which we've used in our tetras. So far, we haven't had any problems with them. One thing we have noticed is that we've broken some lexan clovers with some rough handling from the robot (ie. dropping them from 10 feet up.) Also, we'll probably add some lock washers to the bolted connections, as they tend to loosen up over time. Don't sweat the details and get these built. The sooner you do, the sooner you'll figure out how difficult they are to handle.

For all of you Michigan Teams in western Oakland County, the Home Depot on M-59 in White Lake (halfway between Pontiac and Howell) ordered 400 caps last Monday after I promised to buy 100 of them. I *guaranteed* the plumbing guy that he would be sold out.
